The Dell is actually a re-badged Eaton UPS now. They are a semi-custom variation made just for Dell, very similar to the Eaton 9135 (6kVA) UPS.

The price on the Dell's is fantastic and should provide a nice reliable solution.

One thing we have noticed from this particular variation though is they do need to be installed in a reasonable environment, they are definitely an "IT Rack Only" UPS. There are no air diverters behind the fans in the front of the UPS and it causes a bit of excess moisture to build up on the circuit board directly behind the fan.

In saying this you would see similar issues with the APC Smart-UPS RT Range.

Before you pill the trigger and buy one, where is your kit located? Is it onsite or collocated? If it's collocated then you shouldn't place a second UPS in front of the one(s) your data center provides.

In my experience their battery management is extremely kind to the battery packs. The use of 'rest' periods gives a big increase in reliable life span compared to most other systems that run continuous float charge..
